YOU ARE PRESUMED INNOCENT

THE STATE MUST PROVE YOU GUILTY BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT!

The State bears the burden to show you are guilty of any crime you are charged with beyond a reasonable doubt. They must prove each element of the crime you are charged with beyond a reasonable doubt. This is true for the smallest misdemeanors and the most severe felonies.
